Fancy That!

Freehand E2EI met Mary Ellen at a quilting retreat in January when she started this quilt.

Aren’t the colors awesome!

Mary Ellen's Fancy That quiltThe pattern is called Fancy That.  I love the colors Mary Ellen selected for this quilt.

Detail Peacock Feather meanderIt was fun to select thread to compliment the gold flecked black.  We decided to use a deep rust and it looks great!

The quilting design is a freehand edge to edge called peacock feathers meander.

Stay tuned for a repeat of this quilt in completely different fabrics by another retreat attendee, Ellen!

Thanks!  Linda 🙂

One Quilt, Two Quilt

One Quilt, Two Quilt

Last January, I was at a Rainbows and Calico Things quilting retreat and Mary and Beverly were working on this quilt called Cozy Cabin.

I was excited to quilt both of them!

For Beverly’s quilt, we decided on meandering feathers throughout the quilt except in the small blue squares.

Mary decided to add the pieced border to her Cozy Cabin.  Pretty awesome!

For this quilt we decided on an E2E Peacock Feathers meander.

 

I love the light blue thread!  It looks dark on the light fabric and light on dark fabric!

 

Thanks for looking!  🙂 Linda

Bryan and Ginny quilts

  Ginny’s husband has started quilting and here’s his first quilt!  Pretty ambitious!

The quilting is a freehand meander with Quilter’s Dream Puff batting and the thread is Superior OMNI.

He even created a nice pieced back.  And, I understand he’s working on another one!

Ginny picked up her quilt, too.  I love the color palette on this quilt using Amy Butler fabrics.

It’s quilted with with a freehand peacock feathers meander.  The batting is Quilter’s Dream Blend and the thread is Superior OMNI light tan.

 I love the texture created with the quilting, especially on the back.

I’ll be going to a 3 day quilting retreat this weekend.  I plan to work on some loose ends and start some new ones!  I’ll  report back later!

I entered a quilt in this week’s Quilting Blogger’s themed contest, New Beginnings.  I’ll post the link tomorrow for you to see all the quilts and vote if you like!

Thanks for looking and just keep stitching!

Celia’s Mystery Quilt

Posted on by
Celia’s Mystery Quilt

Celia and Janann made Debbie Caffrey’s mystery quilt, Rain & Fire.  Janann added extra borders to her quilt and you can see that here, Blue and Yellow #3.  For Celia’s quilt, I ordered a dark purple OMNI thread by Superior to match the fabric and quilted feathers in the border.  The center is a freehand peacock feather design with OMNI natural white.  The batting is Quilter’s Dream Blend.  The matching thread creates  texture and movement without adding another color element and is perfect for this quilt.

The bobbin matches the dark purple which contrasts with the light backing fabric but that guarantees a perfect looking stitch from the front.  Because it matched so well on top, it was hard to see, so I’d stop and crawl under my longarm to look at it!

My one year anniversary for blogging is approaching!  I’m very thankful to my friend Candace of The Double Nickel Quilt Challenge for encouraging me to start blogging and my son, Drew, for helping with the website set up and maintenance.  He’s been very patient with me!  Having a photo diary of my quilting has been fun and helped me keep  a better record of each quilt, whether it’s mine or a customer’s.  I will be having my first giveaway on my blog over Thanksgiving weekend.  So check back for my Thanksgiving Giveaway post next week to see what you can win!

Thanks for looking and just keep stitching!
